She Rescinds Her Husbands Power of Attor-
ney Over Her Money in America.
Philadelphia Press.
The news from Europe respecting Colonel
Hughes -Hallett, the husband of the beautiful
woman so long known to Philadelphia fashion
Emily Shaumberg, has created endless talk
in society.
Although her most intimate friends here have
not heard from her cablegram has been re-
ceived from her by a prominent financial corpo-
ration in this city, resembling power of attor-

her investments with the company. On every
side sympathy is expressed for Mrs. Hughes

forward by her husbands disgrace. AL

Colonel Hallett himself was an active figure
at nearly all his wifes entertainments. He was
rather fue-looking. Notwithstanding the fact
that his form is SO attenuated that he is re-
earded the thinnest man in England. He
had suave and cordial manner, and quite
always made an excellent impression with Wis.,

world, especially upon the. financial world
in this country, where a very large part Of his
wifes fortune IS still invested. He tried to
keep up with the changes in the money
market here and was eager to talk of American
